My Story
You know that feeling when you wear a saree for the first time, thoda awkward but mostly magical? For me, that magic stuck around. I just fell for sarees – one piece of cloth, so much story, so many memories. Every pleat I make, I remember my own first drape. Now, I help others find that same confidence, so no more saree struggles, just pure grace. Saree ka maza hi alag hai (the joy of saree is something else).
